big warm hugs to you ~

 

Loss is always difficult.  At 91, seems she's shared a good, long life with loved ones. 

 

My mom passed a little over two years ago.  Even though I knew it was coming, one can't help or control the rollercoaster of emotion that washes over the soul.  For each person, the healing is different.... and the time frame for that healing varies.  George Harrison's All Things Must Pass gave me some comfort and strength..  As did the fact that I knew I had a guardian angel spirit watching over me, freed from suffering this earthly realm. 

 

Quantum physics attempts to explain how all things are connected... but there's so much going on that we have yet to explain or have words for.  But, we know all things are connected...

 

And, pardon me when I say... she'll always be with you, Ron, watching over you... sharing your life with you.  She'll speak to you in the quiet times... and give you guidance when you need it.  It's the separation of the spirit from the flesh that we can't exactly explain and it throws us off... as if the spirit isn't there anymore.  But... we're connected... and we chose that a long time ago ... and we'll be connected for a long time to come. 

 

much love to you Ron ~ wish I could give you a big hug right now ~ much love
